Awaken Your E-Learning Force #110

We’re officially one week away from the premiere of The Force Awakens! If you’re as excited as I am, then you know how long the next seven days are going to feel. Thankfully, we have the e-learning challenges to keep us occupied!

To help you kick off this week’s challenge, check out the Star Wars-themed entries from previous challenges:

Vader the Interrogator

Help Leia and Chewbacca respond correctly to Vader’s questions and secure the alliance in this quiz from Trina Rimmer.

Challenge of the Week

Build a Star Wars-themed interaction, this week your challenge is. Okay, that’s the best Yoda impression I can do.

You can design any type of interaction you like as long as it’s related to Star Wars. For ideas, check out this community discussion where members shared ideas for this week’s challenge. Here are a few highlights from the thread:

New to the E-Learning Challenges?

The weekly challenges are ongoing opportunities to learn, share, and build your e-learning portfolios. You can jump into any or all of the previous challenges anytime you want. I’ll update the recap posts to include your demos.

Awesome! You can do a few things. First, you need a place to post your published files. This can be Dropbox, Google Drive (although they're discontinuing hosting soon), personal website or blog, or you can send me your files and I can post them on our servers.
I'm more than happy to post your files on our servers. Let me know what you'd like to do.
Thanks, Sarah!

While googling "explain Star Wars to me in 10 words or less" I stumbled across this video of someone kind of trying. It uses the same approach as Drunk History. I vow to study it until I come up with a challenge idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDFlQINIgwk&app=desktop

Not enough time to do anything "real," but inspired by BOnline Learning @MattGuyan blog and a need for something like this for a different project I am working on, I made a quick character carousel. Not pretty, but it works.

Oh this is such a fun topic for a challenge! Here's another quickie when I SHOULD have been doing holiday cards - Wookie translation anyone?

Welcome to the challenges Adam. Nice work on the animations! I liked how you created the intro. Have you thought about putting the 'next' arrow pointing downward as that is where the text is flying in from?

Hey Adam this is wonderful. I crashed on the first question and noticed that you showed me the question again. It might make sense to eliminate the second try in a game like this especially since each question only has 2 options. Maybe you could display a score instead.

Hi Melissa, the counter does not seem to work for me. I tried it in Chrome and IE on my desktop - and also on my iPad and in all cases the counter just sits at zero.
When I said zero, I meant 00001.
Mel just tweeted and said it goes to 00001 and then stops: So all is good!

Hi everyone!
This is my first e-learning challenge - a great one to get my feet wet!
Here's what I came up with: http://googledrive.com/host/0Bz70wh9c1kKJVkVrdjB2YjNCdGc
Special thanks to David Lindenberg for the pictograms. They truly helped!

Hi all,
This week I have made a game called Jango Fett Asteroid Dodge, in the game you have to tap the screen to make Jango switch sides in order to avoid the asteroids.

This works best on internet explorer due to use of javascript.

How can you combine a soundboard, motion paths, hidden sliders, and JavaScript with Star Wars? With this ELC submission, of course! http://goo.gl/NrWhDT
Remember 2 things:
1. It's a social game! Recruit your friends to be either an E-learning Jedi or Sith Lord.
2. Don't grab the lightsaber by the end. Seriously.
Enjoy and let me know what you think! We'll see which team is winning by the end of the week....

Good evening everyone!! Ever wonder if you would be a Jedi or a Sith? Take this weeks challenge to find out!! I hope you like it, and as always, your feedback is much appreciated. Take care everyone!

Here is my "Force Course." The Empire contracted me to work on this for the Death Star workers. http://createlearn.com/awaken-your-e-learning-force/ and http://createlearn.com/elearning/death-star-on-boarding/story.html
